Escorted by her father Zander Thurston, the bride travels from Renard Palace to Queen María's Cathedral for her marriage to Crown Prince Ethan.

As the bride makes her way into the Cathedral we see Crown Prince Ethan and his best man Diego Olson waiting patiently at the altar.

The beautiful bride wearing a satin dress with lace sleeves is making her way up to the altar with her bridesmaids, flower girl and pageboy's following behind.

The bridal party features Eliana Thurston, Maliyah and Malakai Thurston, Lady Bridgette Houser Jones, HRH Prince Colin of Irenda, Adrianna Thurston, and HRH Prince William III of Simdonia.

The wedding ceremony was performed by Lionel, Eye of Jacob as he gives his sermon and blesses the couple with the watchers' blessing.

{Eye of Jacob} As you embark on your journey together, there are three important blessings from the Watcher that you must receive. Firstly, you shall be granted The Watcher's Absolution, which will absolve you of any past sins and allow you to move forward together without any hindrance.

{ Eye of Jacob} Secondly, you shall be granted the Watcher's touch, which will protect the holy union that you are creating here today. Lastly, you shall be granted the Watcher's Blessing, which will assure you that the Watcher loves and cherishes you both individually and as a couple, and will always be with you.

{Eye of Jacob} It is now time for you to declare your intention in front of the Watcher and all who have gathered here today, as you have received Jacob's Trilogy of Praise. Ethan, will you take Andrea Everly Thurston as your lawfully wedded wife?

{Ethan} I do.

{Eye of Jacob} Andrea, do you take Ethan Alexander David George to be your lawfully wedded husband?

{Andrea} I do.

{Eye of Jacob} By the watchers blessing I pronounce you husband and wife.

The newlywed couple are seeing breaking away from tradition as they share a kiss during the ceremony.

Congratulations to the newlywed couple as they embark on this new journey together.

The newlywed couple can be seen giving an expression of respect to TM King Andrew and Queen Anne.

The crowds cheer as the newlyweds walk out of the Cathedral to the carriage where they make their journey back to Renard Palace for the reception.

The royals begin a new tradition by appearing on the balcony of the Palace to wave to the millions of Whitmorians as their way of making their people feel included on their big day.

On this day, the newlyweds started a new tradition by sharing a public kiss on the balcony, something the royals had never done before.

Creator Notes: Thank you to everyone who sent your lovely sims to be a part of this wedding and for being so patient with me. After months of waiting due to having some unexpected things happen in my life. If you want to see the photos in color you can see them HERE :)

More than one threat looms over Cair Mallplex: the raging dust storm and the huge shadow of Elizabeth Haven snuff out the last of the wan light. And there’s no escaping the specters of the past that have arrived. Featuring a one-off nickname, a mystery solved, and a question of what it means to be human.

Ezra Klein interviews video essayist Dan Olson, creator of the two-hour YouTube video about crypto, “Line Goes Up.”

The reality is that cryptocurrency stands up to none of the claims that are made about it. Cryptocurrency isn’t private—it’s very traceable.

Crypto is centralized, rather than decentralized.

And crypto is not a useful form of currency.

Celebrity endorsements of crypto, such as the Larry David Super Bowl commercial, are designed to attract dumb money. They are evidence that the crypto economy depends on taking money from suckers.

A common belief in the United States is that the natural state of capitalism is free markets and competition. But that’s just false. The reality is the natural state of capitalism is monopoly. Far from being decentralized, crypto is already well on its way to centralization.

How I Would Do the DCEU:

With the release of Justice League recently, fans have been once again divided over the vision of Director Zack Snyder with the influence of former Marvel Maker- Joss Whedon. The film is quite polarising at the moment- with people actually going out of there way to hope for a release of the Snyder Version of this movie! Can you imagine that happening after Man of Steel which had the controversial killing scene and then after Batman v Superman?

People want to see Zack Snyder finish his creative vision and, whilst I do understand why Zach had to drop out, I’m also curious about the world that might have been if Zach had gotten to make what is effectively the DC Trilogy starting from Man of Steel all the way to Justice League (with Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman in the middle).

Zack tried something new and I’ve decided to adopt an attitude of- Good for him. It was different, and I can respect that. Whilst there are things I don’t agree with (BIG TIME) I’ve matured enough to respect his attempt at trying to do something new.

So that being said- the above may have been a bit of a random segway- I’m going to take this opportunity to basically explain what I would do if I was in charge of the DCEU because, quite frankly, nobody asked and I have nothing to lose. And to make sure it’s not super long- I’m going to do this in chapters. CHAPTER 1; SUPERMAN

Cast- Controversially, I don’t want Superman whiter than bread to be Superman. I want someone more tanned in skin tone, as this is a guy who absorbs sunlight. It makes sense, in my mind, for Superman to have darker than white as snow skin.

Lois and Jimmy, whoever is best for the role. These are iconic characters who can be ANYONE. Same with Luthor- but they must be bald.

We begin super duper basic. I’m talking the quickest origin story ever- Spider-man Homecoming taught is that we don’t need to tell these characters back stories. We know them. So let’s do that again here.

Right from the pages of Grant Morrison we see, in order, in still images; Krypton, about to explode. A couple placing a baby in a rocketship. The rocket flies away as the planet explodes. The Kent couple looking at the baby- And then we slam to Superman flying through Metropolis. It’s probably the second/third year of his activity and as he flies through the city he is smiling and we see him perform several acts of kindness. Some big, some small. He stops some cars from hitting each other, he stops to wave at some bored kids, he saves, he inspires, and we have several shots of people looking up. Just as it’s looking too idealistic, we cut then to a bank which is being robbed and the criminals are being outlandish with it- multiple cars go off in different directions, a helicopter flies away, the criminals are trying to escape the Man of Steel by being clever and Superman essentially goes through a chase sequence where the villains are trying new weapons. They know he is strong, so the weapons criminals have made are designed to try and take him down by any means. Metropolis crime has evolved to take down the Last Son of Krypton. Superman stops them though and the citizens are pleased and later we cut to Clark Kent, reporter, working at the Daily Planet.

We are then introduced to our Lois Lane in the movie who is practically like Sherlock in how clever she is. She notices small details about people, she can tell the time by looking at peoples shoes- she is SUPER clever. If Sherlock/House can make it hilarious, I’m sure Lois can too. Jimmy is also around, a savvy media type who understands everything about social media and as #SupermansBestFriend. Lois and Clark talk because they have an ongoing beef with Lex Luthor who is talking about unveiling some technological advancements. They are suspicious because of reports that have come from Lex’s Labs from former employers, and Perry wants them to pursue it but also wants them to be careful.

The Daily Planet scene can be fun because you can have continuity that other heroes exist in the world and that they are established heroes also. Have reports from Central City about a Flash running around, Coast City with a Green Lantern- Gotham with a... you know.

The trio of Clark/Lois/Jimmy then have an evening of hanging out, chatting and talking about personal stuff. Every now and then Clark has to disappear (bathroom breaks and stuff) and whilst we don’t see it, we get the impression he is helping someone out there. The plan tomorrow is for Jimmy to take pictures of Luthor’s new tech, Clark is to distract people with questions and Lois goes in to get the juicy gossip. They all agree and that night, Clark and Lois walk home alone and have a sweet moment.

The next morning we get the moment where Clark stands by his window and seems to soak in the sun and relishes in it’s light before going about his normal morning routine at super speed before finally making his way to meet Lois and Jimmy. We see Lex for the first time and it first he seems like a typical businessman. Talking about his products in a very Apple founder kind of way, standing on a stage, etc. The creation in question is a robotic skeletal suit because, in Lex’s own words, not everyone can be made out of steel.

Lois sneaks off as Jimmy and Clark go into action and, as Lois is investigating the labs, we can see that Clark is both keeping an eye on her and can also hear her as well. At one point she distracts some guards and we can see that Clark is very impressed in her. She manages to get into Luthor’s lab and begins to take some photos, and her eye catches on a strange room and, going inside, sees something strange and she realises it’s some kind of weird mutation. She flashes a light on it from her phone, but it seems to absorb the light and her phone goes dead. At various points it

She escapes the lab with her phone and finds Clark and Jimmy and the trio rush back to the Daily Planet. They plug the phone in but when they turn it on they see that the creature absorbed not just the phones power but everything within it as well. Clark finds it strange and Perry is furious that they have no evidence of Luthor’s obvious evil and tears them all out.

That evening, after walking Lois home and the two sharing another moment, Clark flies back home and has a chat with Ma and Pa Kent. They share in stories and we see that the couple are very supportive of there son. Maybe have a flashback to Clark’s childhood. Basically it’s a chance to see more the good that Clark does, with newspaper clippings and stories that people have written in about the hero that is, Superman.

Meanwhile in the lab, the mutant uses the energy that it has absorbed and escapes in a massive explosion and escapes the dark room. It rushes out of the lab, stealing energy from all sorts of sources as it does and gradually seems to grow in strength- becoming less like a weird globby mutant and more like a four legged spider (which i get makes no sense, but I know what I mean).

Clark is flying back to Metropolis and as he does he hears panic as, after a period of time, the mutant has taken in enough energy and is now moving at high speeds- literally at the speed of dark. It’s quick, but not necessarily strong, and is eating the light from Metropolis’ night sky through street and car lamps. Superman arrives to face the monster and, after punching it, notices that it has stolen some of his strength after absorbing the light from within him.

They fight, this time Superman on the defensive, and after a well place heat vision blast he scatters the creature and believes it has been defeated. The next day, he presents Perry an article about the creature and mentions it has ties based on Lois’ first hand experience to LexCorp. Perry refuses to run it based on flimsy evidence however, but does agree to run the story about Superman facing down a weird mutant based on the amount of publicity surrounding it- referring to it as The Parasite.

We then have a few scenes where Luthor distances himself from the mutant, saying it attacked his lab rather than escaping from it, and then other stuff such as the creature beginning to reform before gradually stalking its’ way through the city. Clark and Lois go on a date but during it Lois points out why she finds Clark so interesting and goes on an explanation about his mannerisms and about how they all seem put on. She inadvertently insults him and Clark, thinking it’s a mistake, goes to leave and Lois has to reflect on essentially putting her foot in her own mouth.

Jimmy, meanwhile, is on the way to his own date with his girlfriend- and then spies the creature in a different, more humanoid form, and when he takes a picture off it with the flash on it steals the light from his camera and then attacks him. It’s only by his quick thinking by running into the heart of Metropolis that the creature is overwhelmed and flees, setting up that it can only gradually absorb energy.

The next day Lois and Clark have a business only chat about the next move regarding Luthor, and are then surprised when he enters the building and demands an interview with the 3 of them and Perry. He explains, furiously, that the creature that Lois took a picture off stole the light and energy from her phone and used this to escape and that it’s unlikely to have been destroyed, more temporarily overwhelmed. He agrees to give the paper an exclusive interview on why he was creating the creature if, in return, they assist him by broadcasting on there TV Channel the way to protect the public and to endorse the skeletal armour he had made.

Clark refuses as he won’t compromise and, inspired, Jimmy and Lois agree and even Perry after a moment- but Luthor opts to relent and give them the interview without the endorsement as lives are more important to him. Lois conducts the interview and Clark disappears to hunt for the creature. In the middle of the day, huddled under a container, the creature experiments by sending bits of it out to absorb the direct sunlight and after a few harsh moments of exposure it eventually absorbs enough energy to withstand the sun and comes out in the daylight.

From there, it is practically unstoppable and darkness sweeps the streets as the Parasite creature absorbs the city and it’s very form begins to blanket the sky as it’s aura grows in size but the creature remains humanoid. Superman engages it in a battle, fighting the humanoid figure, but with every blow he only makes it stronger and himself weaker and after a heavy blow he is launched across the city and slams into the ground of a families home. Weakened without the yellow sun energy.

Lois, meanwhile, uses the Daily Planets backup emergency power to explain that the creature feeds on light, cutting into Luthor’s segment, and there only hope is Superman- but he needs there light to continue to fight so she encourages everyone to turn on everything that they have. People began to set candles, turn on everything that they own, torches, etc. And the city begins to light up in the darkness and whilst it is gradually snuffed out, nothing can stop the citizens of Metropolis trying to fight back.

Superman regains enough energy to start leaping and begins to leap from building to building and just reaches high enough after a particularly tall SkyScraper to let his fingertips touch beyond the dark cloud enveloping the city- and then absorbs enough sun to propel himself above the darkness. He absorbs as much sunlight as he can as the Parasite begins to march to the cities main square to take down the last major power source- and then Superman lands and roars, using his voice to launch the creature and it’s dark shroud back and also use his heat vision to blast it. He engages in a battle, using his powers to keep the sunlight blasting down on him as the two light and energy sourced creatures fight and, eventually, when the Parasite brings all it’s power into itself to unleash it all at Superman, Superman uses all of his power in return and manages to vaporise the creature in a Superman punch.

The creature is reduced to a small form, and a Luthor team arrive to contain it. The confidence in Luthor is shaken, but he’s not out of power yet, and after a particularly viscous piece endorsed by Perry, he vows revenge on the Daily Planet. Lois and Clark patch things up and we get the impression by the end of the story that the adventures of Superman, Lois and Jimmy vs Luthor is just beginning as we see he has way more monsters and mutants at his disposal thanks to a strange glowing box that he calls, mother.

Then the movie ends, full of hope and with the idea that this is just a SUPERMAN story. It’s basically a couple of days in his life. He has millions of adventures, this is just one of them, and at the end of it he is a hero. If the movie failed, you could go forward with a different actor, in a different story, and this one would be just as viable in the continuity. With a positive tone as well, the Superman Story can work really well.

And of course, if it works, you can then do a Mid-Credit Scene:

Lois and Clark have a second date and it goes better. Clark flies home, very happy with himself as he and Lois go to kiss- but dont. But they could have and he knows it. As he lands in his apartment, he turns back as he notices something weird and he sees in the distance... a man dressed as a bat.

NEXT TIME, IN PART 2 OF THIS THING NOBODY ASKED FOR-

I talk about Chapter 2.

Batman.

Fuck You / A Magazine of The Arts, vol 1 # 1 1962

Fuck You / A Magazine of the Arts was published by poet, member of the band The Fugs, co-owner of the Peace Eye Bookstore and all around rabble rouser Ed Sanders. It was a pioneering ‘zine, way ahead of its time, publishing poetry, criticism, art and assorted rants in mimeographed form.

“In February of 1962, I was sitting in Stanley’s Bar at 12th and B with some friends from the Catholic Worker. We’d just seen Jonas Mekas’s movie Guns of the Trees, and I announced I was going to publish a poetry journal called Fuck You/ a magazine of the arts. There was a certain tone of skepticism among my rather inebriated friends, but the next day I began typing stencils, and had an issue out within a week. I bought a small mimeograph machine, and installed it in my pad on East 11th, hand-cranking and collating 500 copies, which I gave away free wherever I wandered. Fearful of getting arrested, I nevertheless mailed it to my heroes around the world, from Charles Olson to T. S. Eliot to Marianne Moore, from Castro to Samuel Beckett, from Picasso to Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Allen Ginsberg.

Fuck You was part of what they called the Mimeograph Revolution, and my vision was to reach out to the “Best Minds” of my generation with a message of Gandhian pacifism, great sharing, social change, the expansion of personal freedom (including the legalization of marijuana), and the then-stirring messages of sexual liberation. I published Fuck You/ a magazine of the arts from 1962 through 1965, for a total of thirteen issues. In addition, I formed a mimeograph press which issued a flood of broadsides and manifestoes during those years, including Burroughs’s Roosevelt After Inauguration, Carol Bergé’s Vancouver Report, Auden’s Platonic Blow, The Marijuana Review, and a bootleg collection of the final Cantos of Ezra Pound.”— Ed Sanders, Woodstock, New York, October 1997

It started with a tweet. I asked:

1 - Poets with MFAs & poetry professors: are there specific books (of poetry, on poetry) that you would recommend for writers who may not have access to formal education in poetry?

2- Poets without MFAs — please feel free to add books that have felt pivotal and educational for you in your process. I mean this primarily as a resource and did not mean to suggest that others may not have valuable texts to offer!
